I have breastfed for 9 months and my son has had a pacifier the whole time. The concern is if you use it early it could effect your initial supply. I would give it to him after he had fed. It is recommended to not introduce one until they are a month old.

DD is EBF and 3 months old. She has had a paci since day one and has no problem with the breast. We actually had to work for several weeks to get her to take it. It really helps when you know they aren't hungry or dirty and just fussy. Hth

Pacis increase the risk of various problems w/ breastfeeding. That doesn't mean you will have probs, but it does mean your risks are increased, and there's no way to know beforehand. You can either take a chance, or ideally wait until LO is a few wks old, or not at all.

Pacifiers have also been shown to reduce SIDS. We actually offered pacis to both our kids when they were fussy s newborns and they refused them. We have thumb suckers instead. That's a hard habit to break.

We needed it. Dd had to suck on something ALL the time. Since it was going to be a paci, fingers or me, and she had to have limited breastmilk because of a medical condition, we opted for the paci. She had absolutely no problems switching between the pacifier, bottle and breast.
